...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

In order to get the terrorists we have to become like the terrorists, we have to do terrible but necessary things. Which means if we get the wrong people on our way to getting the right people we act the same as the terrorists. So then we are terrorists, to them. So then they want to get us. Because getting the terrorists is what you do. But we know we're not terrorists - they think we are but they're wrong, just like they think they're not terrorists, but we know they are, or they could be, which is almost the same thing. Even though we both act the same, killing innocent people, and doing unspeakably horrible things, the difference is we're not terrorists, and they are.
They say we're terrorists, we say they are. So then it's about who's more terrible. We are. Therefore we aren't terrorists. We aren't terrorists, and we will torture you and kill your children to prove it.
